1988 Ford Escort L review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Windscreen Wipers disintegrated.
Unleaded caused flatspots and lots of black smoke so I used 4 star and this solved the problem.
General comments?
Sorted out handling by fitting RS1600 alloys with low profile tyres.
Performance is poor unless you thrash it and on a sunny day it runs well.
Good first car although I would like a rev counter.
MPG 30 - 38 urban which is really good for a car this old.
